Bait or not, I can't understand the trogs who fixate on these characteristics as if they're equal to art itself. My art has been called skillful but and it never makes all that happy, slightly on the positive side of neutral maybe. Skills are nice only in service to art. If you use your skills to paint like a hack thrift shop donor then why have skills at all.

Asians have the special advantage of being able to claim that they've only been doing art for eight months and that everything is a "quick speedpaint" even if they've practiced for twenty years and the picture took them a week and was done on top of a 3d render.

Also if you're Ross Tran you can just plagiarise other people's art and photos wholesale.

Yep. Plus the fact that there are billions of asians on social media and all of them strongly favor asian artists over anyone else, regardless of the quality of the actual art. Because asians are the most intensely racially segregating people (not going to say racist, since they're not - they just prefer to be with their kind). Not necessarily a bad thing in itself - it does mean that by the time the west has destroyed itself with feminism, hedonism, moral poverty and the resulting depression and self-hatred, and then dissolved quietly and tracelessly into an ocean of muslim immigrants, asian countries will have gone on as always, preserving their culture, their heritage and their ethnic uniqueness.

the left is by a Chinese artist emulating Thomas Kinkade's kitsch style. Its bad painting meant to be sold as cheap mass produced prints at flea markets to grandmothers who don't know any better. The color, brushwork, the values, its all a mess.
In the Van Gogh the cool and warm colors are grouped and separated in a very aesthetic way in the composition, whereas in the Chinese knockoff there is no strong value structure & transition between temperatures, its just a cheap mess.

Not him, but the only good thing about the painting is the use of hues, notably the play on cool and warm lights against each other. But the left is definitely 100x better and debating over taste will lead into semantics and subjectivity, do we judge the painting on the merits of it’s technical skill or what the painting is showing and telling us (the viewer)
Most people will obviously choose the left when it comes to “what looks good” assuming the participants who judges are in a vacuum so no other external influences will occur.
